The “Mustang family” has always been a close knit group of people who, as well as having lovefor their Mustangs, love their fellow mustang enthusiasts as family. Relationships are born andgrow into lasting friendships, making the Mustang a muscle car that creates families.Since the invitation by our own Vice President, Michael Nilles, to Salvo Mirabella, President ofthe Mustang Club of Italy (MCI) to exchange honorary memberships with our President TonyRosati and himself, Michael received this response from Salvo:

“I have received youremail through ourAmbassador MarcoNannini. I thinkexchanging honorarymembership betweenclub’s Presidents,and to swap ourwebsite links is agreat thing because itcan allow allmembers to view andfollow each other’sactivities.”

With a little further correspondence back and forth between Michael and Salvo, to iron out thedetails, our Mustang family has expanded with the birth of our relationship with the MustangClub of Italy and Salvo Mirabella.This relationship with Salvo has also opened the door for many new family members of the MCIand also, Manuela Mancin, Promoter for MCI and Mustang Women MCI. We welcome Manuelaalong with the Mustang Women of MCI with open arms into our mustang family as well!

A “family meeting” was puttogether in a very short timewith a great amount of helpfrom our sister club on the eastcoast of Florida, The MuscleStangs of Miami, and theirPresident, Ayanidys Marante. Our utmost thanks goes out to their entire club, and Southeast Florida Shelby American Automobile Club for escorting

our new family members across the state to Ford’s Garage in Cape Coral, FL on 8/4/13 in an impressive “herd” of mustangs!The meeting was extremely successful, bringing together many family members of several clubs from all over southern Florida to welcome our new “siblings” from Italy. Mustang Club of Italy, Women of MCI, and our very own GulfShore Mustang Club, have created a brotherhood/sisterhood bond with our relations across the ocean that will last a lifetime!Each Club, in their own right, accomplishes many things, such as raising monies for cancervictims, several different charities and even collecting school supplies to be donated to theneedy, just to name a few. The union of these clubs has not only broadened our horizons, andgiven many of us the urge to learn the Italian language, it has created an opportunity for all ofour clubs to do great things on a much larger scale!

The members of GulfShore Mustang Club wholeheartedly welcome President Salvo Mirabellaand Manuela Mancin along with their entire clubs, Mustang Club of Italy and Women of MCI intoour family here in the United States.We can’t wait for the family reunion!
